Q: ok..so i really wanna be a fashion designer...my back up plan is being a lawyer. but fashion design is my number one. The only problem is I heard fashion design is super hard to get into((and i wanna do like a big job like Gucci etc,))
So is it hard?..or should i just become a lawyer. I dont wanna own my own shop or anything i want to do the fashion shows and stuff. Some advice would be nice =) I need to know now because i need to know what courses i should take during my highschool career.

There are schools for fashion design, too.... and here's a tip- Law is probably just as competitive as fashion design.

About what courses to take in high school? Take what you want. Keep your grades up, pass some AP exams and you'll be open to so many more oppourtunities when it comes to college. That is where you build your future.
